Mini challenge 7/28
tracked: yes
calories: yes
exercise: yes
This is going to be a tough week for me. I will have time for exercise but I have two nights - and weeknights at that - where I am going out so staying under calories is going to be a challenge. Going to do everything I can though cause I want to stay on track for my vacation weight loss goal in 3 weeks0 -
Hi newbies. I'm Carrie, 44 years, living in the UK. It's my second month in the group. It's great here, better than I anticipated. Everyone so supportive, not least of all our fabulous leader Lisa who is inspiring in her ability to engage members. I just found out that I was the biggest loser in July (yay!) and I absolutely know I would not have got the results I achieved without this group. The daily accountability challenge has proven a great focus for me, leading to weekly results. I'm sure my weight loss will slow down but I'm staying with the group to stay on track. My personal goals are to look fabulous in my wedding gown in November and to achieve a BMI of 25 by end of September, which is when I next see my surgeon to discuss post breast cancer reconstruction.
Good luck for August everyone cxx
@Caronell, I wanted to be the one to tell you, but you saw it first! (I usually don't spend a lot of time on the computer on Sundays; it's my husband's only full day off). Congratulations, nonetheless!! And thank you for you kind words.
@HASWLRS, thank you! It's a shame you didn't get to tell me the great news, a couple of the other groups tagged me into their results posts so I found out in a roundabout way. Quite unexpected and I'm really delighted cxx1 -

We might be neighbours....where in Southwestern Ontario are you from? I live in Tillsonburg. @abowersgirl and @cossmoss15 are from the GTA and I think the four of us are the only Canadians.
Wow! I figured there would be more Canadians. I’m I’m Hamilton - not too far from you at all!

Tracking- yes
Calories- no
Exercise- yes ( 1 mile walk)
Been struggling here the past couple of days with a pulled hamstring in right leg. I have not exercised in a few days and it has gotten worst and has moved up to my tail bone as of this evening. I’ll tell you it’s one of the worst pain ever and icy hot not doing much good. It really hurts when bending my legs to sit or stand. Suggestions welcomed. 😕1 -
This month is going to be difficult. I have one engagement, one wedding and three family functions. I am going to try and save my no days for those alone and fight for the rest1

Mini Challenge (what day are we starting this on, yesterday? If so, it was yes/yes/yes!)
Monday, July 29
Yes/Yes/Yes
my eating was atrocious full of fast food and carbs, but balanced out calories by packing and lugging crap all over. (we are moving, BIG downsizing, movers come Weds) Still, I feel bloated and sluggish as a result. Better tomorrow!
Debating whether or not to keep the scale unpacked for Thursday weigh-in - I think I will and bring in the car. NO EXCUSES!!!!1 -

Sorry about your hamstring:( I would try to be extra focused on eating if you can’t do much in the excercise department. You can still see a loss this week if nutrition is on point.

@Nicoletime4me, ouch! That sounds terrible, Nicole. Ice or heat, at this point whatever feels best, an anti inflammatory, like ibuprofen, and a soak in an Epsom salt bath. That's all I can think of. Hope you feel relief soon.0 -

@stubbornloser, I grew up in Caledonia and my dad worked at Dofasco, so Hamilton was our city! I was born there, too. My parents are still in Caledonia, and my sister is in Ancaster.1 -

@abowersgirl, that is actually a great strategy....be extra vigilant on the days you are at home and have control over your situation, and on days that you are not at home, and do not have control, do the best that you can, while still enjoying yourself!1 -

@annabananamc, that is the ULTIMATE in no excuses!! It would be so easy to say, "my scale is packed away, so no weigh-in this week, sorry", but not Ann!!0 -
Somehow I made it through a Disney trip and a week of eating without gaining ten pounds!

Today is my first day back at the regular routine. I only have two weeks left of it though, so we're kind of all over the place this summer.1 -
